    Here is to a Whopping Wednesday Surprise. I am sure that if it is meant for you then you will get it. Who knows they may offer it to you then you might go for the interview on Thursday and prefer that. You are a job magnet...................

    Maybe we all need to go for some job interviews - just think how clean and tidy our houses will be!

    I wouldn't read too much into being kept waiting for interview news - unfortunately it is quite normal.

    Hope thursday's interview goes well for you!

    Good Morning
    I was talking of the colour purple yesterday, (the when I'm old I shall where purple poem ) this morning a huge wild poppy has flowered just outside my front door. And it is an amazing purple colour.

    This from a girl that can recognise a daffodil but that is about it. I am amazed at it because I thought it was a weed and it was on the 'weed the drive' roll call.

    So today is purple wednesday.

    I have about £40 of ebay stuff to pack and post, not my favourite job but I guess it's got to be done.

    The kids have totally devoured everything in the last two weeks. I was hoping to refrain from Tesco shopping until next week but there is nothing, so back to the drawing board with this grocery shopping game. Because it is a game. Easily overspent by £50 with top ups and need more food already !

    :T Oh I love silly socks. Makes me feel human when I wear really bright girly socks under my boots with my uniform that is ever so formal.

    Loving the purple poppy. Never seen a purple poppy. I too am wearing purple today. Ok so I look a bit silly in a purple floppy beach hat whilst sitting at my 'puter but who cares!

    hope that phone rings today for you

    Loving the purple vibe !

    No news on interview but does it sound bad if I say I'm not too bothered ?
    Focussing on tomorrow.

    Right these ebay parcels aren't going to pack themselves.
